I am so excited! I read the tutorial and decided to give it a try. I have never done one before and I nailed my first try on my right leg. I tried on my left and lost balance but reset and nailed it as well.

Beast Skills is a great website.

Anyone else have a large difference between legs when doing pistols? I don't notice a disparate difference when doing other uniliateral leg movements such as bulgarian split squats...lunges..etc but when it comes to pistols I can easily knock out 3+ pistols on my left leg but with my right leg I'm shaky with even 1.

Also anyone experience knee pain with pistols? A few months ago when I was really trying to do pistols I'd get a weird knee pain so I kind of laid off and recently (after reading the article) I thought I'd start back up and so far no knee pain but just wondering.

I started to find these borring when I could pump out 20 or so on each leg. Although they are some fun if you start throwing kettlebells into mix with overhead squats and such. I just don't find them as challenging as I once did, but they are excellent non the less.

Derek,
I'm sorry, re-reading my comment it came out a bit pompous which was not the intent. I used to do them a LOT and I really mean a lot! They are one of my favorite exercises, but after a while they just aren't as challenging as they once were. And seriously its one of the easiest exercises to get good at because you don't need anything but yourself and a willingness to get weird stares and comments!

Do 3 per leg every hour or so for about a month and by the end of the month you will be doing give or take 20 per leg.

I'm good at 5 things:
1. Making myself look like an ass!
2. Making myself sound like an ass!
3. Doing Weird Workouts!
4. Shooting People! (A skill thankfully that is used infrequently!)
5. Teaching Skills 3 and 4 to others!

No need for an apology. Based on your list of things you are good at I am definitely going to make it a point in my travels to workout with you.

I will make it a goal to do 3 an hour for the next month. I love goals.

I enjoy shooting, not required in my job so I have thankfully avoided the need to shoot anyone but once again I love training with the best. So on top of the weird workout it looks like I am going to need a shooting lesson as well. You probably recognized my signature quote from Barrett Tilman. It sums up how I view all the Martial Arts training I do; Pistol, BJJ or Muay Thai. I want to know when my fat is in the fire that my training will pull me through.

Luckily I have a great family and my wife and kids participate in most all of my craziness so I don't have to worry about my social life.
